From news article:
The way in which different European countries respond to the debate over Islamic face coverings for women is beginning to offer important insights into how well they are mentally and culturally equipped to deal with the continentâ€™s ever expanding Muslim populations.

After the French parliament almost unanimously approved a ban on the burka on July 13, the focus of attention in Europe has now shifted to Britain where Conservative MP Philip Hollobone is introducing a bill to parliament which would forbid the wearing of the burka or the niqab in public places.

It has now emerged, however, that the deeply entrenched forces of multiculturalist political correctness in Britain have already begun to mobilise. Hollobone is being threatened with legal action under the Equality Act for refusing to hold meetings with voters in his area who insist on wearing their veils.

He argues, reasonably, that proper interaction with women wearing face coverings is not possible and suggests that if they want to raise an issue with him they send him a letter instead. According to the BBC, the multiculturalist civil rights group Liberty has pledged to offer legal representation to any Muslim woman whom Hollobone refuses to meet.
